Summary Description

The church was built to replace the Chapel of Ease erected in Well Street, South Hackney, in 1810, because the congregation had outgrown the building. The new church was the realisation of the ambition of Henry Handley Norris, a High churchman, to replace the chapel with a church conforming to the tenets of the Ecclesiological movement. The church was designed by Edward Charles Hakewill and was built in 1845-8.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
